At Summit Street School, we adhere to the seven principles of the Responsive Classroom:

• The social curriculum is as important as the academic curriculum.
• How children learn is as important as what they learn:  Process and content go hand in hand.
• The greatest cognitive growth occurs through social interaction.
• To be successful academically and socially, children need a set of social skills:  cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control.
• Knowing the children we teach -individually, culturally, and developmentally- is as important as knowing the content we teach.
• Knowing the families of the children we teach and working with them as partners is essential to children’s education.
• How the adults at school work together is as important as their individual competence:  Lasting change begins with the adult community.
